Se Habla Espanol

She strives to provide a friendly, family-oriented shop where we can work together to find the art and/or frames that fit your décor while focusing on fine art, original photography, original etchings, and reproductions of historic maps and prints.

Bella's Corner

A very unique part of her business is “Bella’s Corner” where children can play while parents are picking out the art, photos, mats, and framing they are looking for.  This corner is named for Isabella, Elizabeth’s daughter.   Features of this corner include toys, games, and DVDs for your children to enjoy.  There are also several things to purchase for them too, including:

• Wind-up toys
  
• Kaleidoscopes
  
• Microphones for your future American Idol
  
• Greeting Cards
  
• Framed artwork and of course…

At Wimsey Cove, we feel that:

“Through art, children can express the creativity that they will need as adults to cope in this world.”
